PITTSBURGH SUN- -TELEGRAPH FRIDAY, APRIL 6, 1945 Wheat, Meat Problem In Food Program April wheat and today: as uncertainties in how the United Naavailable food this year. In general, the picture as presented to the Senate Agriculture Committee shows food enough of one kind or another for everybody despite serious shortages of meat, fats and oils, dairy products, sugar and rice. Lt. Col. R.

W. Olmstead told the committee one of the unsettled problems is the question of "financing of Canadian wheat for relief purposes. Olmstead, chairman of the War Food Administration's allocations committee, said Canada has no appropriation to permit military forces to extend relief to civilians of liberated countries. The American forces have such provision and 214.000,000 bushels of wheat for relief, chiefly by the military, have been against" this country's stentered BRITAIN GETS WHEAT Olmstead said he understood the United Kingdom has set aside funds for that purpose, but noted that virtually all the wheat which has been sent to England has gone from Canada. The Canadians make such shipments without charge under their mutual aid (lend-lease) arrangement.

Wheat supplies, he told the committee, are more than ample, but current needs abroad are not being met because of internal transportation difficulties and incountry. Both Canadian and Aradequate milling a facilities in this gentine wheat will have to be used if the United Nations are to "meet essential wheat requirements for the feeding of liberated areas." he said. Olmstead added his description of the wheat situation yesterday to data he gave the committee earlier on other foods. In talking of meat, he had said that "discussions are continuing in an effort to reach agreement concerning utilization of the supplies expected to be available." MEAT A PROBLEM Canada Major World WASHINGTON, meat stood out tions will divide Olmstead indicated that so far as he is concerned the chief question is Canadian meat. He said "a reduction from the 1944 level 1s expected in Canada." That level was 146.4 pounds per capita compared with the United States.

The United States allocation for civilians currently is 125.8 pounds, but Olmstead said it would drop later on. With addition of the wheat data, the committee decided to recess its hearings until next week with the time for a resumption left to Chairman Thomas of Oklahoma. The fleld to be explored next has not been determined. The special House Food Committee, meanwhile, planned to Fred today, Vinson.

Seven members of Director of Public Safety Director George E. A. Fairley's police department signed a petition for the owners recommending that the place be allowed to operate after the curfew. to accommodate war workers.

The committee permitted the owners to remain open for one week starting Monday so they can investigate. Newspapermen were barred from the rehearing. SECOND HEARING At a previous hearing March 29, the curfew committee refused the owners permission to remain open all night because, the committee contended, Rosenstein and Tobin did not show in their application that they served war workers.
